Friendship
Small Moments, Big Impact
One small moment in my life that had a big impact on me happened when I was in my early twenties. I was working as a server in a busy restaurant in a trendy part of town. One day, I had a customer who stood out to me. She was a woman in her late forties or early fifties, dressed in a stylish outfit with a sleek haircut. She was dining alone, and as I approached her table to take her order, I noticed that she was reading a book. I couldn't quite make out the title, but it was a hardcover with a striking cover design.

Meeting face to face as it was too important to put in a text message.
It was a sunny day, and the winged creatures were chirping as Alex strolled towards the little coffee shop on the corner of the road. He was feeling a blend of feelings, extending from apprehension to fervour, as he had something critical to tell his companion Rachel.

Little White Lies...
I suppose we should start this story out with some backstory for texture so let's get to it shall we? There once was a young girl with long dark brown hair and sad brown eyes and a young man with long blond hair and forest green eyes that showed both pain and wonder for the world. They were both so young, so pure, so innocent and so immature in many ways. However, they were young, ignorant of the ways of world and in love so who really cared? To them, all that mattered was each other. They had met at a Christian school were they had both attended since grammar school. It was one of those K-12th grade type of schools. They had only ever really thought of each other as friends but about 8th grade for her and what would have been 9th or 10th for him things started changing between them. What with hormones and testosterone rushing throughout their bodies they began to see each other in a whole new light...and pretty soon they couldn't stand to be away from each other. Any chance they got, any chance they were afforded they wanted to be together. They would stay on the phone all night long, they wrote letters in school and begged the teachers who liked them to pass the notes for them(it was a small school) and when that didn't work they would make creative paper airplanes and fly them to each others cubicle desks. At first, the families were in agreeance that they were a cute couple and at first because the young girl was hesitate her mother had said "Oh, Give him a chance. You might be surprised." and surprised she was. They stayed together for years and he was her first...her first love, her first sexual experience, he made her feel things she'd never felt before and helped her believe things about herself that she didn't know was possible. They were even wed in a little church just inside the city limits of her home town. It all seemed like a match made in Heaven right? Well, the trouble was these two weren't aligned very well when it comes to what they wanted and/or expected out of life. Her family found him to be very lazy, selfish and rude at times and his family found her to be spoiled, coddled and too outspoken. They sure did try to make it work though. They wanted so badly to prove everyone wrong but the truth was that some of what their families said was true. Now, I don't want you thinking that people can't change because they most certainly can if they so wish to do so and people can mature and grow and blend together with their dreams and goals but...that is not what happened here. They began to listen to the outside influences and not listen to each other. They also began to doubt themselves and neither truly knew how to love themselves. You see, they got together in a time when they both were pretty broken and although one person can certainly not heal another they did what they could. They did all they knew to do but in the end the young man did have a tendency to be quite lazy and he hopped from job to job never really sufficiently financially supporting his family. He was the Master of Excuses and always had a good lie for why he couldn't do something or why he'd lost yet another job. He didn't support her financially, emotionally or physically in the marriage and although they had many happy times more often than not she was left feeling alone. He had a few shining moments and then the light in him would go out again and he'd go back to the shadows, believing he was useless and a failure. Depression....it's a mean beast if I ever did see one. He failed her because he couldn't get over his own traumas and he couldn't find his way to the light. She couldn't take it anymore and she had some healing and trauma work she needed to do herself. One day she thought, "If I'm going to feel alone all the time in a marriage I might as well be alone." So, in one defining moment in his truck when he drove her to work one morning she got up the courage, thought to herself, "Say it, just like they do in the movies..."I want a divorce." and then she said it. She couldn't believe she'd said it. She had a six year old little boy with this man and a little girl on the way but she just didn't know what to do anymore. He just nodded his consent. A few months later...she was talking to him after the divorce over the phone and she told him that she'd decided to name their daughter Aliza Rayne. The Aliza part was after her grandmother's grandmother whose name was Eliza but the Rayne part he immediately asked if it was for him because he'd always wanted to change his name to Rain and they'd always talked about that. In truth, it was but it was also because her great grandmother's family name was Rainey but the main reason she'd chosen Rayne...him. But she lied and quickly said "No, it was my great grandmother's family name." He responded with a small "Oh."
